“…Overall, findings from this study underscore the need for more research to explore the lived experiences and mental health and academic outcomes for TGD undergraduate students who are ND. Echoing recent calls from the literature, research must continue to contextualize well-being and success and push to employ other intersectional approaches to better understand the lived experience of oppression among TGD-ND populations (Gratton et al, 2023).…”

“…Inclusive research often aims to include a range of different autistic people across the broad scope of the autism spectrum; albeit not all at once. As such, active recruitment of under-represented autistic groups, such as non-verbal communicators ( Hickman, 2022 ), women ( D’Mello et al, 2022 ), non-binary, transgender ( Gratton et al, 2023 ), and people of color ( Malone et al, 2022 ) should be considered. Furthermore, for broad demographic samples it may be beneficial to evaluate intersectional differences, such as gender, race, and socio-economic status, so that accumulative challenges can be understood across the participant sample, in relation to the phenomena ( Cascio et al, 2020 ).…”

In this article I explain the value of autistic perspectives in research and argue that support for autistic scholars, community leaders and professionals are required as an inclusive research consideration. I propose consolidation, innovation, and evaluation of inclusive research principles, with consideration given to epistemic agency, autistic participation, and actionable research outcomes. I then present “Eight Principles of Neuro-Inclusion,” a reflexive tool that I have designed as a way of encouraging new developments of inclusive research practices. Through flexible application of this approach, it is hoped that innovative new inclusive methods will materialize, in pursuit of epistemic justice, and in support of actionable research outcomes that benefit our autism community.

Autistic girls, women and gender diverse people have specific needs that are underrepresented in research. Research priorities are often established by funding bodies, researchers, parents, carers and health professionals and may not meet the needs of the diverse Autistic community. This co-produced project aimed to identify what research would benefit the lives of Autistic girls, women and gender diverse people in Australia. We interviewed 47 Autistic girls, women and gender diverse people aged seven and above and obtained feedback from an additional 411 Autistic people through an online survey. Autistic young people identified six key research priorities including (1) better understanding and support at school, (2) understanding our experiences, strengths and challenges, (3) autism specific mental health support, (4) Autistic friendships and relationships, (5) experiences of gender diversity and (6) accommodations to make life easier for us. Eight key research priority areas were identified by Autistic adults including (1) understanding and supporting specific needs in adulthood, (2) experiences of trauma, abuse and sexual violence, (3) supporting mental health and wellbeing, (4) addressing barriers in healthcare, (5) understanding and supporting physical health needs, (6) addressing barriers in education and the workplace, (7) understanding the role of society, embracing neurodiversity and the importance of Autistic identity and (8) co-designing research and supports with Autistic people. We provide a discussion around the importance of focusing on these research priority areas in future autism research in Australia.
